The reported advice Of senator German TO
Speaker Carlisle TO decline the Speakership and
take the door as leader Of the democratic side OF
the next House Is like the advice which Mr.. Cor
man Is occasionally reported as giving In other
and Still higher quarters, exceedingly fn-Judged.

never make success His proper place Is on the
bench, or in the arbitrator's chair, holding the
balances even between the contestants. There his
absolute fairness and his cool selfpossession amid
the most exciting scenes, make him the right man

funding bill In the last days OF the forty sixth
Congress, he showed his power as o tacticsan BY

by the ciamor going on about him, and keeping
calm while other men often lost their heads, he
did not prove himself q leader in any sense. Let

Last year the democrats OF Massachusetts, went
70 the republican party in search OF a candidate
for governor. and chose young John Andrew, who
lad plenty OF money and many personal friends
Tut whose associations in politics had always been
snttdemocratic. HIS past career made a multi
tude OF democrats refuse to vote for him. while his
future prospects closed the door against any con-
siderable republican following. Between these
disaivantageous conditions his canvass ended in
disaster
Now the democrats Of Boston have gone to the
republicans In search OF a candidate for mayor
and found one whose chief claim TO prominence in
his party Is that, eleven years ago, he for the
same once and was beaten out Of sight by demo-
cratic r. o. Prince
And yet ir was not very long ago that the Presi-
dent was severely overhauled by the Bay state
oid-line Jenersonians because he appointed some
men 10 ONCE whose lifelong democracy was open

Anarchist Most at least had the pluck to air his
views In the court where he was undergoing trial
In View York instead OF contenting himself with
quietly letting the witnesses for the prosecution
tell what a bad man he Is He declared that an
archism Is not a revolt against any particular
form % government. but against government In
general This was perfectly understood before by
everyone. The name OF the philosophy describes
it sufficiently well But Nj. Most should bear in
mind that any social organization which sets out
with the idea OF abolishing all headship would
quickly make away with the power he has so long
exercised and enjoyed among the half-crazy and
wholly lazy fanatics Of London and New York
VINO call themselves "agitators.- The first signal
OF the success OF snarchism as system will be the
kneil OF Mr.. Mosts own proud eminence among his
class
The verdict having gone against Most, the next
thing will be TO see how the courts above will treat
him. II he does not succeed in keeping out OF
prison as long as Jacob sharp has kept out he will
have good cause TO complain that equal justice is
not meted out TO rich and poor.
After the experiments recently made on the 81.
Paul Railway, there can no longer be a question OF
the practicability OF heating cars by steam from
the locomotive On Sunday night, while the Their
monster outside registered twenty-eight degrees
below zero the heat maintained inside the cars on
. Train between Chicago and st Paul reached
eighty degrees above-a total difference In tenn
penture OF over one hundred degrees-with-
cut any perceptible diminution OF power In
the engine This Is triumph for the common
sense nide Of the argument so long waged over the
od-fashioned coal stove. There may be many
things still TO learn about steam; but the funda-
mental fact has been proved by this experiment
that steam can be used for the purpose OF heating
cars just as well as the stove And in view OF the
ESSENTIAL advantages II possesses over any stove
ever devised We can AFFORD to take the chances OF
learning slowly In detail the most effective method
OF managing it.
